Pros

-work/life balance is better than the big4 (our chargable hour goal is a lot lower) -pressure is lower than at a big4 -less structured than other firms (there's a lot more opportunities to work with partners/directors directly here than at other firms which seem to have more rigid structures, i.e. staffs only work with seniors who only work with managers, etc.) -salaries are about on par with market

Cons

-technology here is a joke -the firm is really cheap (e.g. limited "events" and happy hours) -not a lot of interoffice collaboration -training could improve (more trainings are done by webcast which isn't the best way to learn)

Pros

good work life balance which is rare. No audit practice therefore tax dominate and controls direction of the firm.

Cons

Each office operates as its own Silo, incompetent staff, too much focus on admin and not on developing better skillsets.
